Gorgeous hotel across South Beach

When you think of an easy breezy beach trip to Miami, you probably think of South Beach. And lucky for you, The Gale by Hilton is *the* quintessential South Beach hotel. With bright white stone washed walls and twinkly-light palm trees everywhere, this historic and iconic hotel, built in the 1940s, truly defines the Miami vacay experience.

For starters, the location is perfect: just steps from the gorgeous beach, two blocks from Lincoln Road (South Beach’s famous shopping and dining district), and a short walk from Miami’s art deco historic district. Then the hotel itself is everything you want it to be, too. The rooms are very breezy coastal chic, with bright white everything and big windows that let the light work its magic. The on-site Italian restaurant, Dolce, is not only delish, it also offers loads of fun bottomless specials, from unlimited brunch cocktails to rosé all day. The swimming situation is on point, too, from the gorgeous rooftop infinity pool (it even receives direct sunlight from morning to night, so you’ll never have to be in the shade) to the beach. The hotel is partnered with the oceanfront Shelborne Hotel, so you can enjoy beach club access there and use all of their amenities, including two beach chairs and towels. You can also enjoy water sport rentals from their other partners, the Boucher Brothers (think wave runners, parasailing, paddle boarding, and more).  And finally, if you want to get some movement in that does not involve water, the hotel has an incredible gym and also offers complimentary yoga classes and rental bikes. All in a Miami vacay!
